I originally planned to leave this place immediately after greeting the queen, but who knew that the queen left me.

"Lin Guiren, do you know how Concubine Shu is doing today, and whether she is healthy?" The queen asked.

When I saw this, I was in trouble. The queen is the lord of the harem, and since she asked me, she must know something. How do I answer so that the queen is not suspicious? I can't figure out the thoughts of this queen who seems to be a mother in the world, but is actually vicious.

Niangniang asked, presumably something happened to Concubine Shu. But the specific concubine didn't know, and asked the mother to tell me. "I'm going to be vague, this queen is like a plague god, it's a headache.

"Concubine Shu is sick, the palace cares, she stays awake all night, and she has a terrible headache." After the queen finished speaking, she didn't forget to put on a sad expression to show that she was in charge of the affairs of the six palaces and was very attentive to each concubine.

"Then it seems that Jingtai beside Concubine Shu came to the concubine last night, but the concubine thought that Jingtai was joking, so she was rejected by the concubine." Seeing how much the queen expressed this thought, she was slightly relieved.

"Really? Lin Guiren, hurry up and invite this palace truthfully. "The queen looked serious and was going to interrogate me.

"Jingtai came to ask for a meeting yesterday and told the concubine that Concubine Shu was sick, and Concubine Shu and the concubine have always been good friends, so Jingtai hopes that I will find a way to help her, so that Concubine Shu and the emperor can meet." I was extremely reluctant to tell the truth.

"Okay, go on." Now the queen listened more energetically.

Those who want to win over others must first win themselves, those who want to judge others must first judge themselves, and those who want to know others must first know themselves. It seems that the Queen is trying to probe our cards to see if we are worthy of being part of her party.

"The concubine now knows that the concubine is not favored by the emperor, and there is no way. But Jingtai regarded the concubine as the last straw, and begged again and again. The concubine had no choice but to ask Jingtai to tell Concubine Shu that Concubine Shu's three-month lockdown period was about to expire, so she could recuperate with peace of mind first, and she could come out after the three-month lockdown period and see the emperor. Then Jingtai left. The words of the concubine are exactly true and have not been concealed. "I showed my cards. Since you haven't violated the rules of the palace, why can't you say it, it's just that there are many people in the palace, and more things are better than less, and I don't want more people to know about this matter, otherwise what will I say.

The queen said, "The palace knows. You are so bold, you dare to deceive this palace. This palace spared you this time, and this time I won't treat you first, don't do it again. ”

"The concubine is guilty." I said this with great reluctance in my heart. I said it so implicitly, and I hid it to talk to her.

"Alright, you can go back. This palace also sees this matter, so I will definitely help you find a way to help you. Someone, send her back to the palace. "The queen relented, and I was able to escape.

When I returned to the palace, I began to think about what I had just done, and did some needlework, planning to drag the slave to sell it when the slave left the palace, after all, the monthly salary was not enough, and I had to rely on needlework to exchange some silver to subsidize my own use in the palace. This is being done, and it is almost noon. I asked the small kitchen to make some dishes that I love to eat and the emperor also loves, and I made a few bowls of sour plum soup.

The dishes were ready, and I was about to have lunch, when I heard the eunuch shout from afar that the emperor had arrived. The people outside the palace have already saluted, after all, I am the emperor's nobleman, and the emperor entered my palace, and I only had luggage.

"The slave visits the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with gold." "Get up." The emperor has arrived outside the door.

I saluted at this time, and I will speak again when the emperor enters the door. "The concubines visit the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with gold."

"Get up, Huaixing." After speaking, the emperor handed me his hand, and he wanted to pull me up. In addition, the emperor seems to have something happy today, so the emperor seems to be in a good mood. In fact, the emperor is still very willing to be close to me, but I have always wanted to keep my distance from the emperor, so the emperor has no choice.

"The emperor came at noon, but he had lunch in the palace of the concubines before leaving. Autumn water, go make tea, the emperor's favorite Longjing after the rain. "While asking the emperor what he meant, I asked the maid to do something to please the emperor.

"Huaixing, I have this intention. Dinner in your palace today, do you have any objections? "The emperor finally washed the palace with rain and dew today, and he is willing to stay here for a while.

"The concubines don't dare, the emperor invites it." After speaking, I pulled the emperor to the table to eat. But I was relieved in my heart. Fortunately, the dishes I asked the small kitchen to cook today are in line with my and the emperor's taste, if it doesn't meet the emperor's taste, I'm afraid the emperor won't come to my remote and deserted Xiwu Palace for a few months. It's really dangerous.

"I don't know if this dish is still in line with the emperor's taste, so please ask the emperor to take it." Although I know that the emperor likes this dish, I have to say so. A woman's lack of talent and ignorance is virtue, and now I have to do it.

"Sure enough, Huaixing understands my thoughts. We call it "the body has no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart has a little understanding." "I was trying to eat this dish today, and you made it for me. I'm happy and ruthless, and I like to be ruthless. "The emperor praised me.

Emperor Xie praised the concubines, and the concubines were grateful. The emperor eats quickly, the dish will be cold in a while. "I'm still going to be polite and eat well.

While I was eating for myself, I also had to feed the emperor. Although I was extremely reluctant in my heart, I was such a big person, and I still needed someone to feed me like a newborn baby, but I didn't dare to be angry. After all, others will say that the emperor is busy with the early dynasty, busy with government affairs, and physically and mentally exhausted, and we, as concubines, are just for the emperor to share his worries.

Finally, the emperor was sent away, and he could calm down and rest.

After resting, I felt more and more that the emperor came to Xiwu Palace for dinner at noon for no reason, which was definitely not a coincidence. The emperor obviously likes to run to the queen more in the past two days, so he will not come to wash the palace in the past few days. I thought again of what the Queen had said to me before I left the Queen's palace. "This matter, this palace naturally sees it in its eyes, and this palace will definitely find a way to do it." Therefore, this matter was single-handedly coordinated by the queen. So what is the queen drawing? So sell my favor. I just don't understand. I didn't think about it again.

But I still want to thank the queen for being able to help me find a way today. Thinking of this, I asked Bailu to help me prepare some generous gifts that I could take chutai noodles. After all, I want to thank the queen, and the generous gifts can be more favorable, and I will suffer less exclusion in this harem.

On the other side, I asked Qiushui to inquire about this matter. Qiushui wore the clothes of the palace maids beside the queen, and found a palace maid in the queen's palace, wanting to probe the tone from their mouths and ask about this matter.

"XX, let me ask you, did the emperor come to the queen's palace before noon today?"

"Aren't you just from the palace, why do you ask that? After the queen saw off Lin Guiren today, the emperor came over after a while and wanted to eat in our queen's palace. But in order to sell Lin Guiren a favor, the queen did not leave the emperor for dinner today, and sent him to Lin Guiren for dinner. The queen also told the emperor that Concubine Shu's mistakes should not implicate Lin Guiren, and she should go to him more often, and the rain and dew will be wet. ”

"Thank you, I went to the Internal Affairs Office to get something at that time, and I went to the imperial dining room to get lunch from the palace, so I don't know anything about noon, thank you for telling me."

"It's okay, it's all the Queen's people. You know that the queen's mind is like wooing Lin Guiren to join the queen's party. Knowing this, it's nothing, but you can better serve your master, the queen is not, it should be. ”

"Thanks, I'll go to work first." After Qiushui finished speaking, he would wash the Wu Palace.

Qiushui came back to 1510 and told me these words, and said that he should have been recognized. It's so true, I'm afraid I still want me to hear that I thought I was doing it properly, but I was still recognized.

I heard that this matter was done by the queen, and it was the queen who mentioned to the emperor that Concubine Shu made a mistake and should not implicate me, and should go to Xiwu Palace to walk around, I felt more and more that the queen had a hypocritical face. Hearing that the queen wanted to pull me into the queen's door, I was even more angry. obviously just wanted to go to the queen's public to say goodbye, but he didn't expect to fall for the queen's scheme. Now I can't go back and forth. That said, we still have to move. At this time, the best plan is to follow the queen's idea and promise the queen. If he and the queen can become a party, it is estimated that it will not be too long. Because of the profits, they gather, and when they exhaust, they disperse, and these are also uncertain. Moreover, the queen herself can't have children, and she has always let other concubines use tricks to get rid of the children of pregnant concubines, which is also extremely vicious.

If you have strong vision, you will not be able to see clearly, if you hear even more, you will not be deaf, and if you think too much, your mind will be confused. I told myself I couldn't think about it anymore, otherwise the more I tried to see through it, the more I couldn't see it clearly. I have to take one step at a time, don't think about the future, now at this moment, it is a lucky thing to be alive in the palace.

I calmed down and began to read. I watched Mozi. Although the scholar has learned, he has the best behavior. It is the one who is restless and restless, and has nothing to do; Those who are near are not close, and there is no need to seek far; Relatives are not attached, and there is no diplomacy; There is no end, there is no business; Lifting things and being dark, there is no business to be heard. Seeing this, you can only make changes in your own body, which the ancients called self-cultivation.

The ancients were right. When your mind is upset, you can read books to seek inner peace. Those who are not strong will will not reach wisdom, and those who do not do words will not be fruitful. All of this taught me how important it is to have your own ideas and not be at the mercy of others as pawns. The queen included me in her henchmen in the harem, naturally at the mercy of me as a pawn. Then I did as she had told. When I have the opportunity, I can naturally bite the queen back and establish a prestige in this harem, and then the concubines in the harem will be jealous and jealous, but naturally they will not provoke me again.

The gift has already been prepared, so naturally there is no need to prepare anything. But make some changes, because, this time, it's to please the queen and cater to her ideas. Speaking of which, I told Qiushui to prepare some gifts, and I would go to the queen's palace to thank him later in the morning, so as to please the queen.

It's getting late, and it's the best time to go and meet the queen. I changed into green clothes and brought some expensive jewelry to make myself look gorgeous, after all, the queen likes those graceful and luxurious things, and always says that she has always been simple and frugal for the palace.

"Autumn water, white deer." I summoned my two maids and asked them to accompany me out of the palace to the queen.

"Yes." Autumn water, the white deer replied.

"Let's go, let's go to the Queen." After saying that, he stepped out of his legs. The white deer of autumn water followed behind me, and the eunuch carried the gifts, and we walked towards the queen.
